Portable USB laptop speaker - designed for computer travel by Cyber Acoustics (CA-2880),Black

The speakers on laptop computers generally suck... I've taken a while (about a year or so...) to really test this speaker. I wanted to make sure it held up to daily use and that the sound didn't start diminishing. Those were my criteria for it... this isn't an expensive speaker but a lot of times that has no bearing on how long something works. This little speaker works way beyond my expectations... it clips onto the top of my computer screen so it doesn't get in the way; the sound is great and the volume control helps to balance the fluctuations found on most computers... I use it every single day and most days off and on all day long... Another thing that I was concerned about was how well does the speaker stay in place and is it too heavy to clip on the screen... and again this little speaker excelled.... I don't write too many reviews (if you can't say something nice....) but I wanted to make sure I conveyed the excellence of this product...

I really give this 4+ stars the sound quality is great for the price, quality & everything else about this item is superior. I bought this to replace GoGroove SonaVERSE laptop speaker (red) that I also bought through Amazon. That one was was no longer recognized by my operating system but this one should not encounter that issue since it only uses the USB connection for power. There is second cord that connects to your earphone jack that conducts the sound. The clip that attaches to your laptop though slightly cumbersome to open, is completely solid attaching securely and does not weigh down the lid so much as to force it to close at all. The sound control knob on the device is nicely placed and responsive. I find it a welcome addition to have many options to adjust the volume. As mentioned above the sound is not superior quality maybe a touch tiny but they are a VAST improvement to the horrible factory speakers in stalled in my HP laptop that even boasts to have beats audio. If I were only using this for watching videos and movies I would give this item 5 star rating. It boast the sound loud enough so I can use my laptop as a TV in the kitchen while washing dishes with the water running. But for music it lacks dynamics. The left right speaker separation is surprising good for such a small unit. I would recommend item. It is a good value for the money (under $20) and performs great.

This little speaker is good quality for the price. Made my laptop sound far better, works fine with my desktop as well. It's surprisingly good for what it is. It suits my basic sound needs, like videos, movies, online meetings, music played at low-moderate volume. There've only been a couple times where I couldn't get the sound to go up as high as I'd like. Once in a while there's a little distortion at high volumes, but not much. The clip is useful, and the compact design is space-efficient. It's lasted several months so far, hopefully will keep going.

This is a perfect, afforable, nice quality set of speakers - keeping in mind that it's very compact, inexpensive, etc. etc., it does it's job well and amplifies the sound of tiny laptop/netbook speakers. It conveniently clips right on to a laptop and doesn't require batteries (USB powered), which is a huge plus. It came with a durable pouch that holds the speaker in one pocket and has a separate section for the usb and jack cords. I was extremely pleased with it and it enhances my netbook's sound a great deal. It's nice to have the sound coming right at you, rather than trying to make its way to your ears from the speakers UNDER the laptop's keyboard... I'd recommend this item highly, especially for the incredible price here on Amazon - provided you keep in mind the reviews by others reminding shoppers to keep expectations realistic.

I guess I'm spoiled after having a logitech Z205. One USB cable for audio and power, and an extremely, amazingly clean sound, with very nice mids, only missing the lower octaves. Unfortunately after multiple times with the Z205 sliding off the back of my laptop and bending the USB connector, it eventually failed to connect with a computer. This Cyber Acoustics wannabe version of the same falls short in a few ways. The dual (USB power, and aux audio) cables are a cluttered mess to leave plugged into a laptop. When playing the above mentioned song, this speaker became a rattle fest, with the drivers almost sounding blown at times. This song has alot of upper bass, and this speaker doesn't handle it very well. I'm pretty sure it's either a loose mounted driver, or maybe the metal cover rattling, but it's definitely there, and definitely annoying. Either way, it still sounds better than the built-in laptop speakers in my Dell Lattitude E6530. I'm disappointed, though, that I can't get a similar "clean sound" that I had with my (now horribly overpriced) Logitech Z205. I paid 30 bucks new and now theyre as much as 220 here on Amazon.

This is the second time I have ordered this speaker. I thought the first Cyber Acoustics USB Powered Speaker I ordered was terrible but after many months of being without a speaker for my Mac laptop, I decided to give this speaker another try. Silly me! The second speaker is as terrible as the first one I ordered before, and trashed. The speaker starts out loud and clear. After a couple of weeks, even when I haven't been turning the volume up loud but on a medium volume, the speaker begins to fade in volume and is no better than my internal laptop speaker. The speaker cuts out often or has static. I liked the fact I could move around a room or to other rooms with it attached to my laptop, but it just loses all power. This product is a waste of money, and soon after purchasing ends up being trashed and just more plastic filling up a landfill. It's a ripoff!

I love this new speaker, so happy I decided to get this one. It clips right onto the top of the laptop so it is out of the way and the sound it wonderfully balanced! The one I had before was the type that had to be set down somewhere, and when in bed watching things you had to put it on the side of the laptop. It would always slide off and fall down and the sound was not balanced. I think if you need a speaker because you can't hear the laptop's speaker well enough, then this is the speaker to definitely buy! The sound is fantastic and it is so convenient to use too! Great price quick 2 day delivery too! I paid a lot less for the one I had before and it stopped working after 4 months! I paid more for this one, but well worth it; better sound, better placement, shows you get what you pay for! I would say buy this speaker you won't be disappointed at all!

I bought this speaker set knowing it would be good for what I needed, as I used to have an earlier model. It's a decent set of speakers and priced well, but don't expect amazing sound. It's clear and can get loud without crackle, but it's not going to give you powerful bass. I got it for work and it's just fine for what I needed, but audio buffs will probably want to look elsewhere. The set is very compact, clips to your laptop well, is convenient to use because of the USB/3.5 connections, and comes with a little nylon carrying case. If you just need some sound, these are a pretty good value.

Buena calidad de sonido, de desoldó una de las bocinas despues de mucho tiempo de uso, pero se repara facil

I have been using this model for more than five years and keep two in use, one for home and one in my day pack. The sound quality is good and it provides greater volume than the built-in speakers. The volume control knob on top is a convenience that some clip-on speakers don't have. I have had to replace a couple of them but that isn't really a defect as it was after considerable (ab)use. The problem in both cases was that the audio and usb wires eventually became damaged where they leave the case due to being yanked on. This speaker clips securely to the laptop and fits all of the laptops I have tried it with, in contrast to some models which do not have a good clamp.

Pese a no tener la mejor calidad, me gustó el producto, lo que no me agrado fue el precio. Me parece que la relación calidad-precio no es la mejor. Efectivamente tiene un problema de zumbido como se explica en otros comentarios, la solución es conectarlo directamente a la toma eléctrica y no al monitor o cpu.

There is only one problem with this speaker. The volume dial is smooth. There are no ridges on the dial at all. It makes it a bit difficult to adjust the volume levels. Other than that this is one great speaker for your laptop.

Just what I needed. Have this and a 15.6" screen in a briefcase style setup for gaming on the go if I want to travel with a home console. Having both items powered by a dual-port USB charger is a great space saver, allowing me to power everything neatly. Sound quality is better than I expected. Not much bass, but it's also not overly tinny compared to a lot of smaller speakers. Loud enough for me, and the dial on top makes it easy to adjust, no remotes or buttons needed.
